Witnesses have recalled the moment a man was ejected from the ride.
On Monday, a fatal accident occurred on the Goliath roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia amusement park, as reported by a local news outlet, 11Alive. A witness, speaking anonymously, stated that a photograph taken during the ride captured the rider's body falling and hitting others before landing on the roof of a nearby haunted house attraction.
The witness confirmed that the deceased man's body was visible in the souvenir photograph that circulated on social media, showing the rider out of their seat at the time of the incident.
According to Cobb County Police, a man lost his life due to the incident on the Goliath roller coaster. Several other individuals sustained injuries, but authorities have not disclosed the cause of the accident. An unnamed woman shared additional details with 11Alive, stating that the deceased man's son was seated beside him at the time of the incident, while his wife and daughter were at the park but not on the ride.
Six Flags Over Georgia expressed deep sorrow over the guest incident, and the park is currently cooperating with local authorities in their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the event.
